I forgot to mention WHY I chose the MRP trumpets and that length. Numerous videos and shops have all concluded that the 95-100mm is the best length for the most power increase. MRP is well known for their quality and are transparent with the iterations of their products, and why they may have updated their designs. They were there when I needed answers to questions about the trumpets and always had reasons for their answers. I felt confident in the product. I found some independent test somewhere that did back to back tests of different velocity stacks and the MRP was the winner. This was put down to the particular funnel shape that they use. Some might argue that the results are so close it doesn't really even matter but if you can buy the best then why wouldn't you? They are made in NZ. thats reason enough They are one piece. Not welded. Hope that clears that up.
I've had ITBs sitting and waiting to go in my Altezza for about a year now, scouring forums for install steps. I'm so happy to have this video pop up on my feed.
I wasn't looking for anything related on this video but I'm glad it pop up because today learned that I can relocate my master reservoir on mine if I need to Thanks.
I enjoyed this vid and even subed. I recently just installed itbs on a buddies altezza and ran into very similar problems. I can feel the frustrations having first hand experience 😅. I was installing the newer panic made throttle bodies for the beams so there were some slight differences. Awesome vid though👍 even gave me a few ideas to sort out some of the clearance issues.
Thanks for watching and subbing. Panic made itbs? I see you are a man of taste and wealth. Lol someone somewhere was saying they are difficult to set up... How's your experience been?
I had mine sitting for over 2 years before I got the guts to attempt this. I just couldn't find all of the information in one place. I have more videos than just this one on the subject so check them out for more detail. Thanks for watching!!
Hey👋I am a fans of Hong Kong, I also have a film of altezza, and I really want to follow it. Unfortunately, my English is poor, and I don't know where parts can be bought. Thank you for your film. Few people like this car. I am very excited to see this car modified on your channel. I also want to follow it and modify my car. I hope I can see it in the future Go to more movies of this car and continue to carry forward and cheer💪🏻
Me too!!! It's taken so long!! JuSt GeT iT dOnE! I finally got the exhaust gasket that HKS invented and don't sell anywhere so I'll put that on this weekend. Then I think that's it. It's load tune in and turn key....
Ever scared of driving/sliding in the rain? I get mixed advice from the internet and friends that say it’s fine and some that say I should stay away haha
I'm not scared of it but it's a totally different animal that I am yet to master. Only done it once and I was spinning out a LOT. My advice is go a lot slower than you normally would. All inputs should be reduced. Have fun.
Plastic ITB adapters act as a heat barrier, where as the metal one contributes to higher intake air temps. There's a reason the stock plenum uses a rubber isolator between it and the intake manifold. Remove the PCV valve, you have an aftermarket ECU to clean up any idle issues that may appear. Let that engine breathe! ITBs won't net any gain in power unless you run a propper plenum with air routed in from outside the engine bay. The hot engine bay temps will cause lower power, especially with our beams being a iron engine block. Speed academy did a dyno video on their s2000 build and you can really see the difference. Mighty car mods same, thing at the end of their V8 powered E30 video. You cna see the difference on the dyno. Also the blacktop 4age 20v ITBs are small for our engine. Think about it, it was made for a 1.6 liter engine, while the BEAMS is a 2.0 liter engine. Try and get some BMW 55mm itbs and have a machine shope create an adapter for you, or have them welded on the the stock manifold. Look at the driftworks Lamborghini build for inspiration. Delete the catalytic converters, and also have each of the exhaust runners welded on the manifold, outside where it meats the flange, and use a carbide burr to port the inside of the flange where the factory originally welded it. The factory sis a horrible power restricting job. Go 3 inch from the where the cats were all the way to the back of the car to maximize power. You should have some T-shirts made that says: "Dave, get it done!" It would really sell.
I can't comment on power but I can say that different engines perform differently... You mentioned a bunch of engines that aren't this one. The premise of this was to use bolt on mods to make it easy. I have custom shit on other cars and I just couldn't be bothered on this one. This was supposed to be easy with off the shelf items that bolt on.
simply looking at the size of the butterfly and then looking at the Port size on the actual engine I don't see a huge difference. The astronomical costs of the things that you're suggesting that I do wouldn't be worth it in my opinion. Get this custom welded to use this thing from a different car that doesn't line up..... Screw that. pay $1,500 and get a turbo kit that supposedly bolts straight on.... Deleting the catalytic converters would make the car no longer roadworthy so that is not an option. I drive this car to the track and back. it's not a trailer Queen. GP sports catalytic converter cost more than toda cams. Plenty of other people told me that the catalytic converter won't be a massive increase in power so the cams are better bang for buck.
Haha, this is the exact path i go down with literally everything aftermarket. Maybe 1 aftermarket thing fits, then you need to add or change 5 other things to make it work how you want. Let alone matching up 2 separate aftermarket bolts for a "Bolt on" solution.
I'm doing general research for my ITB install and I'm surprised you didn't add an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Can you just use the standard one?
Hi, I believe it is possible to put itb's on a 4th gen .. but honestly I don't know that much about it. This link ECU was specifically designed for the altezza because the altezza uses a special system. I don't believe this system was used in any other car. So I don't think this will work with a fourth gen beams. I'm sorry I'm not a hundred percent on either of those questions...
Does your Altezza happen to have cruise control? I just got myself a clean 99 Altezza and was wondering if it is possible to install cruise control on a 6 speed manual. P.s. love your car!!
My car unfortunately doesn't have cruise control.. I have thought about adding it. I know a guy, Mick, who knows ALL about cruise control retro fits so I was gonna ask him. Is it possible? Yes. How hard will it be? Not sure yet. P.s. thanks very much. 😊
@@GarageKei we’re somewhat on the same boat except I don’t know anybody that knows about adding cruise control to an Altezza. It would be so nice to have on hour or longer drives. I’ll live without it if I have to but I’d like to give it my best try. If you get a hold of Mick please post a video! I subscribed to your channel fellow Altezza driver! P.s. I’ll probably watch all your videos!
It's not required so I blocked it off. It's all outlined in the dedicated catch tank video that I did. Check it out. th-cam.com/video/00W5tJsdRfk/w-d-xo.html
Really, if you don't mess with THIS filter then it ain't THAT hard. It certainly ain't a cheaper route than turbo... But you do get rid of that horrid electronic throttle body....
@@Revobushwoky I haven't driven an is200 but this car does have a slow responding throttle body because the ecu basically checks your input before allowing the throttle butterfly to accept your foot movement. To be fair I didn't have any trouble drifting the car that was related to throttle response (as far as I know.) Honestly I won't know the difference until I hit the track again.
@@GarageKei God... Sounds about right aha. I'm hoping to import an RS200 in a few months and I was really hoping it didn't. Fair enough aha. Great content by the way, I'm glad I accidentally found your channel :)
@@Revobushwoky I really like the OEM Altezza. It's much better if you change the suspension but it's a great car out of the box in my opinion. I'm sure you'll like it. I'm glad you like my channel. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Very entertaining to watch, cannot wait for the day when I put ITBs on my B series engine
Planning on doing itb’s on my Beams in the future, this video was entertaining and informative, thank you 🙏
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching
I love the ranty style of this video, modifying cars... Especially installing ITBs, definitely be like that
I'm glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching.

ITBs are so cool!
I just hope they work as intended. 🤣🤣
hey just another guy here with itbs sitting around now looking forward to installing them haha will update when i do it

congratulations on this man! now just a make a video of nothing but asmr ITB noises :D
That video will hopefully happen before the end of February... I hope.
Block the dude who told u to finish cars and drive them 🤣 good video david 💪
READY FOR ITB NOISES!!!!
Me too!!! It's taken so long!!
